Yes that’s typically how all view OOS publics, but UCs are a bit unique in their favoritism toward OOS applicants. It it typical that OOS have higher stats at all public colleges, but many have various protections favoring in state applicants hence the low admission rates for OOS (eg UVA, UTexas, UNC Chapel hill)

My D22 (NorCal) also waitlisted at UCSD and UCLA today. Very similar stats. TBD

Best of luck to your daughter! I hope it turns out as she hopes.

Penn State is even more favorable to OOS - nearly 50% of the class is OOS.
And in their reputed BS/MD program, it is 90% OOS.

Continuing the discussion from UCLA Admissions Class of 2026 Discussion:

@10s4life If a student is waitlisted, does that mean they will not be considered for alumni scholarship, since they start reading today?
